What does "no cd" in the LED mean? I just bought this player and have yet to get it to load a DVD from any region. I've emailed the provider.

Sorry, can't help. We use the machine for DVD only and so far have not encountered this issue.

Does the Samsung dvd player make a strange grinding sound when attempting to load dvd's? I'm thinking my unit is broken. Also, it keeps rejecting the dvd so that does not work at all.

Funny you should ask Peter. I've been trying for over three weeks, to figure out how to get the DVD player to do anything. Obviously I'm not the one they should have guided you to. Sorry.

I had the same problem: it suddenly would not read discs, CD, DVD, Blu-ray...nada, zero, zilch. That happened on the 86th day after purchse, so I went online the next day and submitted a warranty claim. Two days later, I contacted an agent who insisted the unit was out of warranty because the "system" said so. He refused to count the calendar days and said there was no supervisor available. I contacted another agent the next day who said, that by his calculations, my unit was under warranty and very quickly got me an RMA and shipping label. ...pays to be persistent...

I believe it to be a defective unit. I bought 3 different units, since Christmas, not all were Onkyo, and all 3 skipped repeatedly thru each song. I bought brand new CD's, and all 3 units same results. I gave up on looking for a CD player, bought myself a USB flash drive, downloaded my music to it, stuck it into my Blu-ray player and now listen to my music thru my Blu-ray player. Also, any unit that plays a dvd, will also play a cd. But cd's are on their way out thanks to modern technology.

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV. However, I do know that if you insert the DVD into the TV's DVD slot incorrectly it will be rejected and the "no Disc" message appears.A DVD has to be inserted with the shiny silver side facing forward toward the TV screen, that means that the label on the DVD is facing away from you. Also be sure you are not using a Blu-ray Disc as this type is not supported by the TV's DVD Player. I am assuming that you have tried several different DVD discs and all were rejected. I am also assuming that these DVD's are originals and not copies. For if they are copies they may have been copied using the wrong format. I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV.

Thanks for the info Kevin, just got back from a huge dvd store here and I noticed a lot of Blu Ray discs marked 'all regions' (1,2,3) on the back of them so Sony may be trying relax restrictions for now to corner the market here. I also just found out that's it's pointless getting a blu-ray and/or hd-dvd player as my 3 year old 43" Pioneer Plasma with external hig def set top box can only output 1024 X 768 pixels max, so I wouldn't visibly see blu-rays or hd-dvd's 1080p potential...think I'm better off just getting a good upscaling dvd player & a good hdmi cable. Except for PS2, dvd players/recorders sold here are region free out of the box anyway. Will look out for Oppo but don't think it's sold here.

The dvd player that I purchased does not have a digital display. I would not use the display if it had one. I think it indicates the amount of time the dvd has been playing. Who cares! When it comes to the end I put in another dvd.

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

Jason:Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

No it says no disc or just tries to read the dvd but never does anything my 8 year old portable DVD player still works. I can't believe I spent so much and it just stops working

My unit plays all region DVDs. IT will play some Region 2 Blu-ray, but not other Region 2 Blu-ray. Anybody know why? Examples: it will play The Wicker Man region 2 Blu-ray, but not The Shout Region 2 Blu-ray. Please advise.

This player only plays region 1 or all region meaning that the disc from that region example USA or Canada disc only. Hopes this answers the question. Good day!
